There are a number of male sexual health conditions, but one of the lesser known ones is male anorgasmia, the inability to have an orgasm in spite of being sexually aroused. Male anorgasmia is also known as orgasmic dysfunction, orgasmic disorder or orgasmic inhibition and affects about 8-10% of men. The causes of this disorder have not been clearly identified yet but could be linked from the side effects of certain medications such as antihistamines, antidepressants and tranquilizers to the effects of disorders such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Huntington’s chorea and Parkinson’s disease. Some cases of male anorgasmia could also be due to certain surgical procedures such as prostatectomy or bilateral anterolateral cordotomy that are known to inhibit orgasmic response in men.
